Description
The City of Tenino terminated a police officer who was at the center of a KING 5 investigation for making a deal with the City of Tukwila to remove records of his 2017 firing from his personnel file.
Officer Christopher Backus, 35, was fired from the Tenino Police Department on April 21, according to a copy of the termination letter provided to KING 5 by his attorney, Alan Harvey.
”He’s not pleased with the result,” said Harvey, an attorney with the Vancouver-based firm Northwest Legal Advocates. “If he chose to go back into law enforcement, it was because he wanted to assist people, help people. The City of Tenino and the citizens of Tenino were receiving great service from him.”
